Candle Fire in the Bedroom?
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), roughly one-third of home candle fires started in bedrooms between 2014 and 2018. SERVPRO® of Tustin and SERVPRO® of Orange/Villa Park respond to fire damage emergencies throughout the year in Lake Forest, and we see the damage candle fires cause.
Here are some candle safety tips from the NFPA:
- Be sure to blow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed
- Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep
- Keep candles at least one foot away from anything that can burn
- Never leave a child in a room alone with a burning candle
- Use candle holders that are sturdy and won’t tip over easily
- Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface
- Light candles carefully
- Don’t burn a candle all the way down
- Put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container
- Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home
- Never use candles during a power outage (use flashlights)
